This is Thanos. And Thanos wants to run a game of Changeling: The Lost. It’s one of my favorite games and probably the one I know best out of the current Chronicles of Darkness line-up.
In Changeling, you play a person who was abducted by the True Fae - alien supernatural beings upon which most historical faerie folklore is based (the scary stuff, not the Disney stuff). You are dragged to the Land of Faerie, better known as Arcadia, and forced into servitude. Although you eventually escape, your time in Faerie changes you, and you are no longer entirely human. You’re now a creature that is part fae. Even worse, you were replaced by a Fetch - a magical doppelgänger now living your life. Not to mention that your former True Fae master wants you back and is likely hunting you.
Changelings, also called "The Lost", return to Earth with amazing powers. You have access to faerie contracts that manipulate the surrounding world. You can forge magical oaths and bind others by their words. You can enter dreams and control them. And you can even draw on your innate connections to Fate. But faerie magic is not without its dangers, and you need to feed on human emotions to fuel it.
Changelings gather in communities called Freeholds, and they join feudal-style courts for additional power, support, and protection. Some of the Lost try to reclaim their lives from their Fetches. Some embrace being part fae and dive into Freehold or court politics. And some become soldiers and take the fight to the True Fae.
There are two editions of the game. I know both very well, and I’m willing to run either one. Hoping for maybe 4 or 5 players. From browsing the site, that seems to be the standard number for a group.
